Soooo...what does everybody think of the different fashions of the Star Wars saga? Will X-Wing pilots always wear those 70's orange goggles?

How about the boots? Much as I like them, I have to wonder why everyone wears knee-high boots. And some of the outfits...they look so cumbersome! Why do the Jedi wear cloaks when they always have to throw them off before a fight? And how do they get them back?

Anyway...you may speculate, comment, criticize, praise, etc. right here. _________________

Goggles are awesome, but what seems to be really trendy for today's galactic bad-boy is a good, retro Mandalorian helmet!_________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

The Clones are my favorites, of course. And the Mandos. Somebody once asked why the Clones have those retro fins on their helmets. I was like, "Does it matter? They're so cool!" _________________

I always hated Amidala's style, but her daughter got it right. Who wouldn't want a woman with donuts on her ears? lol_________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

Ah, you're absolutely right there, Caedus. Amidala had some awful outfits. I know they were probably trying to go for exotically beautiful, but...it didn't pan out so well. Leia, on the other hand, got it right almost every time. She always looked great. _________________

Like I said, donuts. That and the white robe. Maybe that retro look the ewoks gave her. At least she changed clothes during the movies. Luke and Han picked an outfit and wore it from beginning to end of each film. Come to think of it, did Han ever change other than the Endor mission? Even then, all he did was put a camo poncho over his regular clothes I think._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

I don't think he's ever changed throughout the whole saga! And I'm willing to bet that his General's uniform was simply an upscaled version of his regular. _________________

He won't give up those Corellian Bloodstripes! Easily one of the top 5 characters in the Star Wars universe._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

ESB, he wore the hoth gear, and a different jacket then the one he had in ANH and ROTJ

There must always be an excuse to rip someone's clothing off. Such as AotC. When Padmé gets scratched by the Nexu in the arena, suddenly the bottom half of her shirt disappears and half her sleeve. If you pay attention, his clawing wasn't in the right place to cause such damage. She should only have had the scratches on her back that we see.

But anyway, I digress..._________________
